A recent USAToday article details out why Air Canada, the world's 13th biggest airline, has broken from the pack of big airlines by focusing on customers rather than deep cost cuts.
From selling bulk travel passes to offering various ways to price each individual ticket, Air Canada now provides many innovations that have U.S. rivals glancing northward to monitor their acceptance by travelers.
Air Canada is now a profitable poineer, finding new ways to sell passengers only the services and amenities they want and nothing more. Canada's biggest and oldest carrier is showing its U.S. competitors a new way of doing business that could become the future of air travel. For more information visit aircanada.com
(June 11, 2007) - The U.S. Departments of State and Homeland Security announced that U.S. citizens traveling by air to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda who have applied for but not yet received passports can temporarily enter and depart from the United States with a government issued photo identification and a Department of State official proof of application for a passport through September 30, 2007.
-Obtaining Proof of Passport Application-
• Go to http://nwemail.nwa.com/W5RT02EC0179EAA2DCE0D318BFB500
• Select the link “To check your passport application status and to print out passport application proof”. Fill in the information and submit.
• Print out the confirmation document; it will serve as official proof of a pending passport application.
Applicants will need to present this proof of application to airline representatives when entering and departing the United States and U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers when re-entering the United States.
U.S. Citizens over age 16 must also carry a government-issued photo identification card, such as a driver’s license or military I.D.
For countries other than Canada, Mexico, The Caribbean and Bermuda, U.S. Citizens must still meet the entry requirements of the country they are visiting. Information on international entry requirements is available at http://nwemail.nwa.com/W5RT02EC01498AA2DCE0D318BFB500
-Tips for New Passport Applicants-
• It currently takes approximately 10 to 12 weeks to process, issue, and deliver a passport.
• If travel is within a twelve week timeframe, consider requesting Expedited Passport Service. If choosing Expedited Service, be sure to enclose the required fees and write "EXPEDITED" on the outside of the envelope.
• Include in your application the dates and destinations for anticipated travel.
• Fully complete the application and check it for accuracy before signing in the presence of the Passport Acceptance Agent.
